A big date in the craft diary this weekend as Kirstie Allsopp presents The Handmade Fair at Hampton Court Palace. The show runs from Friday 19th to Sunday 21st and is set to be a great experience for all that attend.

What seems to set The Handmade Fair apart is it’s focus on making on top of the usual stalls and exhibitions. Kirstie herself will lead presentations in the Super Theatre and throughout the show you can take part in ‘Grand Makes’ where groups of up to 250 will take part in projects such as Origami Floristry or Gift Wrapping.

After finding it difficult to source the supplies she needed for bag making, Lisa took the plunge in November 2005 and launched her business. Her time is now spent designing sewing patterns and kits and sourcing the handles and other items for making bags.
